Globally, we need to challenge the dominant models of economic growth that drive inequality, climate crisis and social division. On the Global Prosperity MSc, you explore new definitions of prosperity grounded in justice, sustainability and quality of life. Drawing on economics, anthropology, political science, urban studies and sustainable development, the course prepares you for careers in policy, international development, social enterprise, research and beyond. The world faces urgent, interconnected challenges: inequality is deepening, the climate crisis is accelerating, and political and social systems are under pressure. Livelihoods, communities and environments are threatened by extractive economies, weakened democracies and unsustainable development. The Global Prosperity MSc responds directly to these global challenges. This degree offers a solution-focused, transdisciplinary approach to building more just, sustainable and inclusive futures. Grounded in the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity’s research and engagement with communities, citizen scientists, policymakers and organisations, it equips you with the skills and knowledge to rethink what prosperity means and lead transformative change in your future career. During your studies you: Strengthen critical, creative and practical skills to challenge dominant models and lead new approaches across policy, development, research, sustainability and social innovation. Develop a transdisciplinary understanding of prosperity and explore how policies and institutions can shape just and sustainable futures in government, business and civil society. Learn co-design and co-production methods grounded in lived experience, collaborative research and theoretical insight. Apply these methods to develop systemic, context-specific responses with diverse stakeholders. Tailor your learning through optional modules aligned with your interests and ambitions, covering global issues such as finance, environmental science, China studies, urban development and sustainability. You graduate ready to lead in the field you choose-whether policymaking, international development, ESG, sustainability, community innovation, green investment, entrepreneurship, research or academia-equipped to drive change across sectors, scales and disciplines. This course is for people who want to shape a more just, inclusive and sustainable world. You may be a recent graduate or a professional with experience in business, finance, government, international organisations, NGOs, social enterprise or the creative industries.

We welcome applicants with backgrounds in the social sciences, arts and humanities, natural sciences, engineering, law and public health.
